Today we are checking out another affordable pedal from Donner. This is the Dark Mouse distortion pedal. It offers two different clipping modes thanks to the 2-way toggle switch.
In the up position, we get the "classic" mode; in the down position, we have the "Hyper" mode. The Hyper mode offers more low-end and top-end frequencies and just a little more "oomph."

Wow ! That sounded way better than I anticipated ! Nice demo as always, love your playing and tone mate ! :-)

@randyjameson894 5 лет назад

Another great video Shane, well done mate! That Dark Mouse sounds amazing, and is definitely oozing some cool rock vibes. I'm liking it a lot!!

@lone-wolf-1 4 года назад

As allways, Shane: informative and fun to watch!👌

Shane that HB PRS sounds GREAT ! Pedals kool, and the audio on this vid is REALLY good.

@CodenameCuervo 4 года назад

This pedal is so freaking awesome!!! I used it with Donner Classic Blues pedal on "Battle Rat Galaxy" to add a brighter tone and man sounds great!!!

@richardellis8808 Год назад

I was blown away with this pedal. I couldn't believe how good it sounds. I have 5 mini pedals on my home practice board (Donner, Rowan, Mosky), and they are as good as advertised.

@stuarthall7221 2 года назад

I love these Donner pedals, I've got a few on my pedalboard. Very cool, amazing sounding at such a great price 😎😎😎

@igorb7426 Год назад

Thank you! Great review! I am waiting for my Mouse delivery.

@jamesskaggs7691 5 лет назад

The hyper mode sounds like an actual ProCo Rat.........kinda raspy & snarly! FYI - That reverse tone control is how it is on an actual Rat.

@mattvanmantgem8600 5 лет назад

Hey, Shane- yup, I dig Donner. My v1 Yellow fall is still a great "analogish" delay. I'm also not opposed to a clone pedal- and this one is a "rat clone". For that, my favorite Rat is still the Little Bear R.Attack. However, the key to any Rat, in my opinion, is how it handles the midrange on a slightly hot humbucker- so your milage may vary, etc. So, this one ain't bad, but if you dig Rats, definitely hunt one of those Little Bear ones down.

@jayjkayhouseofharleys3151 5 лет назад

AWESOME PEDAL !! LOVE THE HARLEY BENTON !! :)

@kurtweiand7086 6 месяцев назад

This video tempted me to buy one. I have an original Ratt and it's my fave! The the yellow tail is also on my board, and l have many delays to chose from. Hats of to Donner!👍

@mattgilbert7347 5 лет назад

My old indie band was called "Mouse" - we were kinda dark at times. The pedal sounds like an Lm308 RAT to me. Idk if it has *the* chip but I like it. Sounds more like a Buffalo than a Rodent.

@garthosborn8400 2 года назад

Like Shane mentioned, probably more gain than I need, but provides something different th as n my SD-1. I was surprised at how well it cleans up rolling volume down on my Epi Led Paul. Cool little pedal.

@TheBluesine Год назад

Shane I love your playing mate!!! I'm envious... That pedal is fantastic,, and its not expensive,,, no need to spend hundreds to get a good sound!

@willvarela1557 5 лет назад

What more can you want? It's a pedal that sounds great and is a bang for your buck. Thanks Shane. Peace mate.

I was hoping you would bring back your wardrobe from metalzone video for this LOL

@TroyNaumu808 2 года назад

the pedal sounds great

@peterschmidt9942 5 лет назад

Well, there's about 90% of the 80's metal bands sound right there - just add a Marshall! Rat pedal's were always a lot of fun to play with. Shane, you should have seen if you could get it to self oscillate on full when you turn the tone up.

@msh6865 5 лет назад

Not great but, also not awful. More gain than many will need. Nice review and good demo.

@TonberryGames 4 года назад

Straight to the action. I like it. I shall add my thumb up. Would have bought this pedal if someone hadn't given me a ds-1 for free.

@FolkloreNegro Год назад

Love the name

@adamsherman5024 3 года назад

sick!!

@timothytobin1481 5 лет назад

It clips a bit, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The distorted clipping and tone reminded me VERY much of everything I like about Neil Young when he goes totally apeman!

@riffsnoleads 3 года назад

Another excellent reminder that the true king of drive pedals is the Proco Rat (and any clone of it).

@shaunw9270 5 лет назад

It is a miniature ProCo Rat clone ! Sounds good 👍

@marcelo_7106 3 года назад

Im learning "When I come around" from Greenday and need a pedal. Which you recommend, Extreme, Morpher, Giant, Dark Mouse or another one? Cheers mate

@monosound81 3 года назад

Morpher

@pakalahawaii 3 года назад

This review got me top buy one. I have two RATS and this sounds amazingly close, plus it takes up less pedal space. Cheap too!

@jakestadium 3 года назад

It sounds better than the modern Rat that Proco is currently making and at half the price! Plus you get the 2nd mode... no brainer. You gotta find a og vintage one or white face to get this kind of Rat tone and those cost hundreds.

I don’t know if you’ll see this, but is this pedal good for playing stuff like Stone Temple Pilots?

@pacvend 4 года назад

If I could get that sound out of my guitar I would sleep with it at night ! Tried the Donner Dk Ms pedal with Peavey Falcon w/ Seymour Duncan humbucker and Peavey studio chorus amp and no luck. What u guys do to get that sound?

@jonnda 2 года назад

What amp are you using? When I upgraded my amp to a Vox AC15CH, and a slightly oversized home made oversized 1x12” speaker cabinet, my Earthquaker Devices Tone Reaper fuzz pedal went from “meh” to “this rocks”.

@oldtone9168 5 лет назад

Should I go for this pedal or the mooer black secret? they both seem pretty similar

@erictoniaschwab1009 4 года назад

Old Tone I think they’re the exact same circuit just rebranded.

@EltonGoslettGuitar 5 лет назад

Is this not a rebranded Mooer Black Secret? Which itself is a Rat Clone. Not dissing the pedal, I have the Black Secret and I love it.

@diogomartins0 5 лет назад

Mooer, Donner, Blaxx, Aroma, Tom'sline are all the same pedals under different brands, Mooer just happens to be better known. It's very easy to spot it when the knobs and switches are all the same.

@BenjaminRoethig 5 лет назад

That sounded great for any distortion pedal, let alone one that's under $50

@buddyholly9960 3 года назад

But is this pedal good for playing Norwegian black metal even though I'm not Norwegian

@rush2124u2 4 года назад

The price is a lot cheaper than a BOSS $129 CAD but this pretty good for the price, on Amazon it's $ 48.99. Canadian $$. What a deal

Hello, I heard that Mooer, Donner,, Rowin and Nux are all made in the same factory. Can you tell us if this is true? Thanks.

@intheblues Год назад

Hi mate, sorry I missed this. I am not sure, but they look like they could be. I don't get any background info on that sort of stuff.

@lundsweden 2 года назад

Sounds really good, better than the Mooer, IMO, pity about the silly name and fangs!

@markstanford594 5 лет назад

Ever since my Caline Ghost Rain stopped working and then discovering that Caline does not offer any type of warranty, I have not been interested in purchasing any inexpensive Chinese pedals. I may have to take a chance on this one though. Great sounding pedal! Thanks for sharing.

@michaelweldon1127 5 лет назад

As an American, I hear you calling it “doc mouse”. The name dark mouse is kinda clever and funny, but doc mouse would be a way better name for the pedal...... ya hear that dinner? Great vid as always, the pedal sounds cool and 1 of my favorite pedals is a rat pedal from the 80’s.

@pacvend 4 года назад

I tried it with my peavey falcon (strat copy) on clean channel and can't get anywhere near that sound?

@bloodgout 2 года назад

You won’t get the same sound as a humbucker out of a single coil

@benfz6r 2 года назад

Dont plug it on clean chanel as the signal pass by the preamp and is modified by the settings of your knobs. Plug it in your cd input or fx loop

@keithsmith9889 Год назад

So I'm thinking 🤔 suppose to be a copy of the rat pedal?

@DRTOLLZ 10 месяцев назад

I can't get my level on the mouse more than maybe 10 o'clock. It's just way too loud.

@Killadey 4 года назад

HELP! Anyone else find the Dark Mouse too loud? For unity volume I have have it just above zero, 1 degree over and its super loud 1 degree less and it has no output. It makes it rediculously hard to set the volume properly. Also I have to have the filter all the down for it not to be complete mud. Did I get a dud or something?

@liamtahaney713 4 года назад

Run into a lightly overdriven amp. Then it won't matter

@jesvic9475 3 года назад

@Killadey. I've just received mine and the same problem with the level. It's almost impossible to get unity gain. Are all dark mouse the same? Or we have a defective peda?

@maxonlamb8063 3 года назад

Just got mine, quite disappointed, as mentioned already, ridiculously loud, filter control is way off compared to the Proco and above all, the noisiest pedal I've ever heard (and I've owned a lot over the years). This is totally useless without a noise gate shoved in its rear. It's "natural hum/buzz" is not due to the power supply/s or single coil PUs or cables... By itself it's noisier than my compressor/tube screamer/fuzz/octaver/tremelo and wha wha on all together !!! Maybe it's faulty, shame cause it's tone is not too bad. I'd have sent it back to try and replace it but the big A are out of stock. I have a few Mooer mini pedals and really like them.. Maybe I'll try the Black Secret but it's €20 more. Oh well. Keep well, stay safe.

The Donner Dark Mouse is definately no Mickey Mouse pedal.

@johnnorth9355 5 лет назад

Surprisingly I did not dislike this as much as I thought I would. Pedals normally do nothing for me but this was not too bad but I still would not be tempted to buy one.

@Dontbeafraid2 Год назад

FINALLY ANOTHER LEFTY GUITARIST

@maxonlamb8063 3 года назад

Nice overall tone BUT... way too loud (yes it's possible), filter/tone control has to be almost maxed out to cut through and has nothing to do with the original Proco, and above all this is the noisiest pedal I've ever heard (45 years of pedaling) unusable without a noise gate stuck in it's rear. This makes more of a racket than my comp/tube screamer/fuzz/octaver/tremelo/delay/wha all turned on at the same time. Maybe it's a lemon... can't send it back to Amzn cause they're out of stock. I've got a few Mooers (love 'em) might try the Black secret but it's €20s more... or just buy a 2nd hand Proco. Keep well, stay safe.

@hgostos 5 лет назад

@m.x.2442 2 года назад

Hmmm, doesn't really sound like a RAT to my ears, I've used RAT pedals since the early 80's and the pedal i have now is from the early 90's. I dunno. Doesn't really sound the same to me.🤷‍♂️
